WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?

This is actully stealing an author's work, claiming ownership of author's content.
It can further be defined as the copying and pasting of some else's work, claiming to be the owner without giving the person credit.

TYPES OF PLAGIARISM

We have about four different types of plagiarism which are

• Direct Plagiarism: Th reason why it is called a direct plagiarism is because it has to do wuth the copying and pasting someone's work without editing or changing some words.

• Remix Plagiarism: This is the act of copying different author's work, mixing them to form your own post.

• Hybrid Plagiarism: This is the copying of a cited document (it has a link to the original document) presenting it as a new post without citing the source properly.

• Personal Plagiarism: You might be asking how can i plagiarize my post? Yes it is very possible. It happens when you repost your previous post. It is actually a plagiarism.

HOW CAN YOU AVOID PLAGIARISM

Everybody has the gift of coming up with an idea and a write up, all you have to do is to bleed your ink by writing. Our major problem is just lazyness, try to kill that spirit and keep the ink flowing.
